Kevn Kinney (of Drivin N Cryin) and Friends

Why Kevn Kinney is not a household name is beyond me. He started the seminal Southern Rock band Drivin n Cryin in Atlanta in 1985 and they were early MTV favorites and an essential band in the college circuit throughout the 90s. Releasing incredible songs that Kevn wrote like Honeysuckle Blue and Fly Me Courageous cemented their legacy as one of the best in class.

They are still touring and rocking today. In fact they play Chickie the week before Jazzfest and it will ROCK! This show on Thursday the 23rd at 8 PM, however, will show everyone the folkier side of Kevn Kinney who we believe is simply one of the best songwriters of his generation.

His wife Anna has been working incredibly hard over the past few years on a compilation of Kevns songs by an amazing and very impressive list of artists - everyone from the Black Crowes to Warren Haynes to the Indigo Girls to Jamey Johnson to members of REM to Allison Russell to Jason Isbell and more! Shes not quite up to 100 yet but she will be soon! com/music We will celebrate Kevn, his songs, and this incredible project with some fantastic special guests.

Local badass rocker Kristin Diable is working on a song for the compilation and will debut it here. Rurik Nunan will be joining Kevn on the fiddle, and Stevie Tombstone will also be hopping in for a couple of songs. Who knows who else may make an appearance!
